Wikileaks Leaks Its Own Donor List

Wikileaks, the site dedicated to whistleblowers everywhere, accidentally leaked its own donor list. The site sent out a plea for donations to its list of previous donors and accidentally listed all the e-mail addresses in the “To:” field instead of using the BCC option. Oops. Needless to say, some of the people on the list weren’t too happy when the list was submitted and subsequently posted on Wikileaks.

A prankster, apparently connected to one of the donors, then submitted this list to Wikileaks, possibly to test the project's principles of complete impartiality when dealing with whistleblowers.
